The spelling of "Hoddy" is not a commonly known one. The phonetic transcription of the word is /ˈhɒdi/. The initial H sound in the word is followed by a short 'o' vowel sound, which is then followed by a 'd' consonant sound. The final part of the word has a shorter 'i' sound rather than a long one. The spelling of this word may be confusing due to the uncommon use of the letters in this particular sequence.
